Tonight's training was at the 24 Hour Fitness Super Sport gym in Walnut, CA. I got to the gym late, since I picked up my daughter and helped her out with her homework and did a couple of errands. Yesterday and today, I done a lot of work, studying, and helping out with the kids, so I think my CNS was shot when I got to 625lbs. Everything else on the workouts was fine, but I took a lot of rest after the 1st failed attempt at 625lbs and I started to cool off after the 2nd failed attempt.
After 565lbs for 5 reps, I started to do singles and work on my set up. I can go again this week, since I feel that I will get enough rest and recovery to do so. My grip felt great at 575lbs, but I strapped up on the heavier sets, just in case. I was able to get the weight off the floor, but I didn't have the leg drive to kick in and get the weight pass my knees to use my hips.
I'll be going heavy at the squats tomorrow either way. I was starting to get discouraged but after thinking about on what has gone on today and yesterday, I shouldn't be too sad about the situation. I'm still dropping weight and I still feel strong and healthy.
